Hair Matting

Your hair is knotting itself. Without any apparent reason, without you having done anything differently — it tangles, matts, resists the comb. What should flow freely winds itself into an impenetrable thicket.

Medically, there are explanations: hair structure, dryness, care habits, friction. And yes, all of that plays a role. But when hair chronically matts — repeatedly, stubbornly, despite care — it is worth asking a different question: What in my inner life is getting so tangled right now that it can no longer be straightened out?

Hair has been a symbol of personal power for thousands of years. In nearly every culture, it stands for vitality, radiance, untamed energy. When this power knots itself, something deeper than a cosmetic problem is showing itself. Hair matting is an image — of an inner potency that resists its own release.
